The 2017 season will be the final time Rick Brocato strolls the sideline as head coach of the St. Paul's boys' lacrosse team.
During 16 years at the helm, Brocato has helped the Crusaders maintain their reputation as one of the nation's top programs. However, he decided the time was right to step down, spend more time with his family and pursue other interests.
Still, there are more milestones within grasp this spring.
Brocato is seven wins away from tying George Mitchell for most in school history, with many expecting him to eclipse the mark during the upcoming season. Brocato would also like nothing more than to bring home another Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association A conference title in his final year.
